TRACKING

Tracking is trained normally as part of Schutzhund training as it is one of the tested elements of this assessment. However dogs can also compete in dedicated tracking tests for foot-step tracking and article searching. Tracking can also be training in terms of “search and rescue” and “sniffer dog” training. Training for tracking takes long hours and dedication. It is not something you can do sporadically so dedication is a must no matter what the weather is like. It can be trained from a very early age (as soon as vaccinations are in place) and many dogs develop a great love for it and tend to track naturally after a while even when walking in the park or on the street. We teach tracking from basics and then work with you to advance your dogs abilities. Normally sessions begin as a 1:2:1 training where we discuss theory followed by a putting this into practice on the field. As explained above tracking takes dedication, with the best performers in this field stating a minimum of 3 tracking sessions a week so we also provide a guide for you to continue to train between supported training sessions.
